Took them long enough, didn’t it? After months of waiting, we finally have some cheap, terrible Wiimote knock-off on the shelves of Walmart, in the form of four LCD sports ‘games’ in an inconvenient Wiimote-shaped case. For seven bucks, you can be the proud owner of these cutting edge gaming systems that will not only provide you with seconds of fun, but also advertise motion controls! What? YES! These things actually state on the package that there is motion control....

Are you sick of playing XBLA games with the 360 controller’s rubbish D-Pad? Well, thanks to the modding community,help is on the way. The above photo is a particularly sweet mod in which someone trapped a 360 controller’s brain inside a DualShock 3’s body, using the power of SCIENCE! It’s missing a few things, such as headset support and trigger buttons, but this is something that the creator hopes to include in his next attempt....

As one of the guys who totally dug the first Silent Hill movie, I’m quite excited to hear that the sequel is going to start filming very soon. Resident Evil: Afterlife(DO WANT on that film too) producer, Don Carmody, dropped a start date for filming in an interview withfearnet. Filming is supposed to begin in “late spring” in Toronto, he says. Carmody also touched on game films in general in the interview and talks about getting closer to games through film....

Who says gamers don’t spend time outside during the winter? Snow Yoshi is absolute proof that gamers do brave the fluffy cold stuff to show off their favorite past time. I wanna know how they coloured the snow — food colouring maybe? Either way what a sweet snowman. Next I wanna see a rabbids one or something. Send any gaming snowmen, women or creatures pictures this winter and we’ll post them on dtoid for the whole world to see....

Game Informer has got the exclusive first screenshots of Telltale Games’ episodicJurassic Parkseries. I don’t know about you, but it pretty much looks like what I was expecting afterBack to the Future. Which isn’t a bad thing. Alongside the images, there are a few quotes from the developers and general information about what this series will be like, exactly. It sounds as if some of the mechanics are still being tweaked, which makes sense — this is more action-oriented than most Telltale projects....

On the day its “Legacy” downloadable content was supposed to be released,Dragon Age IIhas disappearedfrom Valve’s Steam service. With the recent launch of EA’s own digital distribution service, Origin, there’s been an air of tension between the mega-publisher and the Kirkland, Washington-based Valve. Electronic Arts has already confirmed that its upcoming first-person shooter,Battlefield 3,would not be available for download on Steam. In June, the EA-publishedCrysis 2went missingfrom the service, with the publisher later claiming the move was Valve’s, due to a violation of Steam’s terms of service....

It’s rare that I get news tips sent directly to my personal email, but after playingSake Express Pro Wrestling, I think that I understand why someone would send this game just to me. If I were a videogame developer, I’d probably beSuda 51, and ifSuda 51made free PC games, this is probably what he’d come up with. Sake Express Pro Wrestlingis a simple little game that requires bothSmash TV-style crowd control strategy and some level of physical coordination....

Back in June,a survey of Japanese gamersshowed that hesitation to adopt Nintendo’s 3D handheld was, in most part, due to the system’s price tag. According toa new survey, however, it seems Nintendo just can’t win. It turns out that lowering the price to appease one set angers the other. Conducted by Japanese gaming site 4Gamer (translatedby freelancer Daniel Feit), the survey found that 30% of current 3DS owners regret their purchase and are not satisfied with their status as a “3DS Ambassador....

First we were introduced to theHeavy Weaponsguy. Then we saw theSoldierin action. Today, Valve brings us the Engineer. One thing that seems to be a common trait among every class inTeam Fortress 2seems to be that they are all bat sh*t insane! Seriously, how can anyone play the guitar with bullets landing inches away from their face?! Don’t forget that you can get in on the Team Fortress 2beta starting up next Mondaytoo....

Sorry, but I made up the part about the belts. Wouldn’t that be funny, though? He shows up in a suit made of belts and a leather mask that requires 5 unzips to reveal his face? The lover of belts and buckles and zippers, Square Enix director and big man Tetsuya Nomura, will be showing face at E3 this year. Shinji Hashimoto revealed on his Twitter account that Nomura would be traveling from Japan to Los Angeles for E3 next week....

There’s nothing quite like a Kaz Hirai keynote (communicated via Japanese to English translation through a Borg-esque wired ear piece) to get you hyped up for Tokyo Game Show. More specifically, hyped up for the vast number of Sony first-party, and third-party PlayStation 3 and PSP titles. With Nintendo sitting this one out (they had to “wash their hair”), there’s no doubt that Makuhari Messe (the venue for this year’s show) is Sony country....

One of the titles I was most excited to play was the recently announced PS3 gameTokyo Jungle. The concept seemed so funny to me when I first heard about it — it’s animals on the loose in Tokyo, fighting for survival. Finally getting to play the game was even more funny than I imagined. Imagine my surprise when I found that I would be killing rabbits as a Pomeranian with a little red t-shirt on....

Online video game petitions are known for one thing; being ignored by game developers. This due to many factors, not the least of which is that these petitions are often written in English, but are directed at Japanese developers. That luckily isn’t an issue for thecurrently open petitionbyGoNintendoeditor RawMeatCowboy asking Capcom to bring it’s long dormantBionic Commandofranchise to the Wii. Hit the jump to read whatBen Judd, the producer of the 360 and PS3 bound gamesBionic CommandoandBionic Commando Rearmed(and the voice of the AmericanPhoenix Wright) has to say about the petition, with some bonus sales data on Capcom Wii games thrown in just for the thrill of it....
